I am taken care of my husband's 93 yearold grandmother for two weeks. I am in an area where I do not know anyone. I am only 130lbs and don't think I would have enough streangth to get her up.

Yes you can call 911 for that. They will send you help to assist her back into bed. I get calls like this all the time, they are quite common and routine. It's considered a "citizen assist".

Call---they will come. You never know, your grandmother may be internally hurt, and should be checked out.
I know one very old lady that had a habit of calling 911 weekly. They always came, as she was past 100, and she needed help--even if it was her mind that needed help. Her relatives finally got her to consent to a nursing home and full time help! But, 911 always came.

Yes you can. When my mother was alive, she would sometimes roll out of her bed and end up on the floor unable to get up. I called 911 probably about 3 times just to get help in getting her up. Even though I am male, I have back problems so I didnt dare try to do it myself.

I AM A CAREGIVER THE PATIENT FALLS AND IS NOT HURT BUT IS TO HEAVY TO LIFT, CALL 911 THEY SEND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND IT TOOK THREE TO TRANSFER BACT TO BED. THINKING MEDICARE WOULD PAY. NO THEY CHARGE $1500.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT TOOK 5 MINS. MEDICARE WILL ONLY PAY FOR 911 CALLS IF TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND ADMITTED.

You can call, but it doesn't mean that they will show up.
